Gary Sugarman, RIT Parent, '11, '14

"RIT is a special place to our family. But, a great education is expensive and not everyone has the means to make a degree a reality. If we could provide
scholarships so others could get the same RIT experience our children did, we would do so gratefully. So, I contacted my attorney and made a provision to
establish a scholarship in each of the two RIT programs that gave our children this great start."

Two of Gary's children graduated from RIT-Sarah in the arts, Will in the sciences. While at RIT, Gary and his wife saw both become happier, more confident,
and capable of finding their way into their careers. Supportive faculty helped their kids become more of who they are by providing guidance and
encouragement throughout their time at RIT. RIT became a special place to the Sugarman family and providing scholarships so other deserving students could
have that same great experience became a reality. Gary contacted his attorney and made a provision to establish a scholarship in each of the two RIT
programs that gave his children this great start. To the Sugarman family, it is much more than a donation. It is their legacy.
